THE WRIGHT FAMILY.
C O S T I K U E D .
M r . Wc a v e r—Dear Sir : I have been tin*
dcred by press of other duties from com­pleting
my promised article on my. family,
ntitil C need m new introduction to your
readers. In your issue of March 18th, ill
which my fourth article was printed, you.
appended some facta about the fiunity of
Eliaaboth Wright, b. Kov. 30, 1,730^ and
Eloaser Baldwin, whidi compelled me to
revise my account of that family, as I had
disposed of said Elizabeth differently, and
counted Mary Wright, b. Jan. 15, 1737, as
the wife of said Baldwin. I thank you for
your correction, and the added facts you
gave, which I will use in-making up my ac­count
of the family of Elisabeth Wright
And I may here add that I shall beg the
indulgence of yourself and readers for the
space of a veiy long single article, or for
two shorter one^ when I will relieve the
paticnce of all concerned. But I may ex­press
the hope that you will continue to
enrich your columns with genealogical facts
about all the Windham families promised in
your circular.
V. Elizabcth* WniGHT, the 3d daughter
of Ebenezer Wright, was b. Nev. 30, 1730,
and, by the Mansfield records, m. Eleazcr
Baldwin, of Mansfield, April 8,1751, and
bad 9 children, as follows: Thoma*,^ b. Jan^
23,1752; Zeri M f b. Aug. 23,1754; EUa-zer.
sb. Nov. 6, 175C; Rhodafb. Dec. 25,
1758; Sarahfh. Nov. 26, 1761; Ata^ b.
Jan. 25,1764; OZt«,» b. Feb. 15.1766, and
<1. May 9, 1769; Olivef 2d, b. Feb. 27,1770.
mizab. b. Sept. 28,1772, d. (most likely)
June 17,1777.
A grandsoncf the above Elizabeth* gives
the following reminiscences of her history
and family: Her husband, after the Revolu­tionary
War, sold his farm of 200 acres of
valuable land in Mansfield, one mile north of
Spring Ilillj for ready cash, to be paid in
two installments, having in view the pur­chase
of land in Vermont, where he might
settle all his children. The purchaser, Mr.
Lot Dimmock, bought the first installment
for 25 per cent, when it became due, and
the wcond for 6 1-4 percent.; but Mr. Bald­win
held it until it became worthless, and
thus lost about all, aave a little personal
property. This loss so overwhelmed the
%ind of his wife as to produce derangement,
and she hong herself with • piece of Upe of
her own weaving. Bat Mr. Baldwin car­ried
out his design of settling h:s family in
Vermont, and secured land in Dorset and
vicinity fm-hia children, though in his old
age. Of these children I can give the fol­lowing
meager account, but of only a por­tion
<^them:
1. Zebviah* (Baldwin),m. Amos field, of
>lansfleld, Sept. 10, 1772,’ and had £/ua-htthf

home was in the wntem part of Mansfield;
but he lost his property mostly by selling
out for continental money, intending a re­moval
to Lebanon, N. H., but his money
proving of no value, he struggled a few years
against his adverse fortune, and d. Oct. 23,
1785, in Mansfield, being run over by a cart
wheel. In 1777 he lost his wife, and 5 out
of 10 of his children by an cpidemic that

A T h r i l l i n g I n c i d e n t o f t h e W a r—
We find in the Courier det Etats Vnit the
following narrative of an incident in the
seige of Charleston, taken from the Mercury
of tliat city:
The Yankees from time to time throw a
shell into the city, and nobody seems to
mind it. But luisfeirtune willed that yes­terday
a shell should throw the entire com­munity
into mourning.
Miss Anna Pickens,the daughter of our for­mer
Governor, never consented to leave the
city. Despite ihereprescntationsofGencral
Beauregard, she remained, braving shells
and Greek lire, tending the wounded and
checring all with her presence. Among the
wounded officers under her ministering caro
was Mr. Andrew de Rochelle, a descendant
of one of the noblest Huguenot families of
this city. This yoiing man was full of tho
livliest gratitude for his fair nurse; grati­tude
^ve birth to a more tender sentiment
and his suit being hstencd to, Governor
Pickers gave his consent, and the marriage
was W.\ed for yesterd.iy, the 23d of April.
Lieut, de Rochelle was on dnty at Fort
Sumter in the morning, and it was deter­mined
that the ceremony should take place
at the residence of Gen. Bonham, in the
evening at 7 o’clock. At the moment when
the Episcopal clergyman was asking the
bride if she was ready« a shell fell upon the
roof of the building, penetrated to the room
where thei ttnnpany were assembled; burst
and wounded nine persons, and among the
rest. Miss Anna Pickens. We cannot de­scribe
the scene that followed. Order was
at last re-established, and the wounded
were removed all except the bride, who lay
motionless upon the carpet. Hei betroth­ed,
kneeling and bending over her, was
weeping bitterly and trying to- stanch the
blood that welled from a terrible wound un­der
her left breast. A surgeon came, and
declared that Miss Pickens had not longer
than two hours to live. We will not paint
the general despair.
When tbu wounded girl recovered her
consciousness, she askvd to know her fate
and when they hesitated to tell her, “An­drew,”
she said, “1 beg you to tell me tho
truth. Iflm u s td ie l can die worthy of
you.” The young soldier's tears were his
answer, and Miss Anna, summomng all her
strength attempted to smile. Nothing
could be more heart-rending than to see tlw
agony of this brave girl, struggling in the
embrace of death and against a terrible
mortal pang. Governor Pickens, whose
c.iiirage is known, was almost withmt con­sciousness,
and Mrs. Pickens looked upon
her child with the dry and haggard eye of
one whose reason totters.
Lieut de Rochelle was the 8rst to speak
‘‘Anna,” he cried, “ I will die soon, too, but
I would have you die my wife. There is
yet time to unite us.”
The young girl did not reply ; she was
too weak; a sligbt flush rose for an instant
to her pale cheek; it could be seen that
joy and pain were struggling in her spirit
lor tho mastery. Lying upon a sofa, her
bridal dress all staineii with blood, her hair
disheveled, she bad never been more beau­tiful.
Helpless as she was, Lieut, de Ro­chelle
took her hand and requested the
Rev. Mr. Dickinson to proceed with tho
ceremony. W hen it was time for the dy­ing
girl to say Yes, her lips parted several
times, but she could not articulate. At last
the word was spoken, and s slight foam
rested upon her lips. Tho dying agony was
near. The minister sobbed as he proceeded
with the ceremony. An hour afterward all
was over, and the bridal chamber was the
chamber of death. Lieut de Rochelle has
sworn to perish in battle against tho Yan­kees,
and we are sure that he will keep his
Howto CiioosB A Cow— There is always
some risk in buying a cow, ofwliosc previous
character a id history we know nothing, for
there are no infallible sigm of exccllenqe.
A rough, scrawny, coaiso, ill-shapen cow is
often a noble milker. Yet there are a few
(loints generally agreed upon by experienc­ed
farmers, which it is well to consider be-fbro
pitrcbasing. A smalt-boned head and
light horns are better than large. Long
legs make too wide a gap betwixt udder and
milk pail, and long-legged cows are seldom
quiet feeders, but wander about too much.
A slender rather thanathick neck,astraight
back, wide ribs and broad brisket, are to be
sought for. The body of the cow should
be Gl^e In pMporti<m to hcad.neck and leg.s.
though not excei«ivcly iul’g c ; and tlio hind
quarters if large and out of proportion indi­cate
good milking qualities. Mt dium sized
cows, all things considered, prove the best
milkers for the smonnt of feed they con­sume.
The color of the hair has probably
no^.hingtodo with tho milking qualities,
and good looks should be regarded but little
in purchasing dairy animals. As to the coU
or of the skin, a bright yellow, approaching
that of gold coins, creamy ci>l»r within the
cars—this and good rich milk are very apt
to go together; and drithal a soft, flexible'
hide, loose over the ribs and rUuip, is al>o
to be sought. The udder should bo Isi^,
soft, and full of veins, which ramify over it,
with full-sized milk veins stn-tcliing for­ward
along tbc belly, and the teaU be large
and not crowded ti^cther. Test the cow’s
disposition and inquire about it. Irritable
and nervous cow* are unpleasant to handle,
and almost always scanty milkers. Some­thing
can be ascertained from the looks and
motions. Lar;;e, mild ercs, easy, quiet mo­tions
when driven, aiul gentleness when
handled, indicate good nature. What the
butchers term “ good handling” is an im­portant
qnality in a milch cow, for it indi
cates not only good milking properties, but
easy fattening, when service in tho dairy Li

The Bottom o f the Sea.—Our invcsti-gationsjgo
to show that the roaring waves
and the mightiest billows of tlie ocean ru-ptisc,
not upon hard and troubled bcil.s, but
upon cushions of still water; that every­where
at the bottom of the deep sea the sol­id
ribs of the earth are protrcted, as with a
garment, from the abraidiiig action of its
currents; that the cradle of its restless
waves is lined by a stratum of water at
rest, or so nearly at rest that it can neith­er
wear nor move the lightest bit of drift
that Otice lodges there. The u:<iirorni »p-pearance
of these microscopic sbellsj snd
th^ most total abscnce among them of any
sediment from the sea of foreij;n matter,
suggest most forcibly the idea of perfect re­pose
at th'i bottom of the deep sea. Some
of tbc specinietts are as piii'e and mi fiec
fWm sea-sand as the fresh-fallen snow fiakc
is from the dust of the earth.
Indeed, the.se soundings almost prove
that the sea, like the snow-cknid with its
flakes in calinr is always lettirtg full upon
its bed shcnrers uf these minute shells; and
we may readily iraagino that the wrecks of
ages, hidden Ufiilcr this tieecy covering, pie-senting
tho rounded ap|)carance which is
seen over the body of the traveler who ha.s
perished in the snow-storm. The ocean, es­pecially
within and near the tropics, swarms
with life. The remains of its myriads of
moving things are eoriveyed by currents ;
and scattered and lodged in the course of
time all over its bottom. This pntcc-is con­tinued
for ages, has covered the depths of
the occan as with « mantle, consisting of
organisms as delicate as hoar-frost, and as
light in the water as down in the air.—A'l

We would forget that there was any

A T h r i l l i n g I n c i d e n t o f t h e W a r—
We find in the Courier det Etats Vnit the
following narrative of an incident in the
seige of Charleston, taken from the Mercury
of tliat city:
The Yankees from time to time throw a
shell into the city, and nobody seems to
mind it. But luisfeirtune willed that yes­terday
a shell should throw the entire com­munity
into mourning.
Miss Anna Pickens,the daughter of our for­mer
Governor, never consented to leave the
city. Despite ihereprescntationsofGencral
Beauregard, she remained, braving shells
and Greek lire, tending the wounded and
checring all with her presence. Among the
wounded officers under her ministering caro
was Mr. Andrew de Rochelle, a descendant
of one of the noblest Huguenot families of
this city. This yoiing man was full of tho
livliest gratitude for his fair nurse; grati­tude
^ve birth to a more tender sentiment
and his suit being hstencd to, Governor
Pickers gave his consent, and the marriage
was W.\ed for yesterd.iy, the 23d of April.
Lieut, de Rochelle was on dnty at Fort
Sumter in the morning, and it was deter­mined
that the ceremony should take place
at the residence of Gen. Bonham, in the
evening at 7 o’clock. At the moment when
the Episcopal clergyman was asking the
bride if she was ready« a shell fell upon the
roof of the building, penetrated to the room
where thei ttnnpany were assembled; burst
and wounded nine persons, and among the
rest. Miss Anna Pickens. We cannot de­scribe
the scene that followed. Order was
at last re-established, and the wounded
were removed all except the bride, who lay
motionless upon the carpet. Hei betroth­ed,
kneeling and bending over her, was
weeping bitterly and trying to- stanch the
blood that welled from a terrible wound un­der
her left breast. A surgeon came, and
declared that Miss Pickens had not longer
than two hours to live. We will not paint
the general despair.
When tbu wounded girl recovered her
consciousness, she askvd to know her fate
and when they hesitated to tell her, “An­drew,”
she said, “1 beg you to tell me tho
truth. Iflm u s td ie l can die worthy of
you.” The young soldier's tears were his
answer, and Miss Anna, summomng all her
strength attempted to smile. Nothing
could be more heart-rending than to see tlw
agony of this brave girl, struggling in the
embrace of death and against a terrible
mortal pang. Governor Pickens, whose
c.iiirage is known, was almost withmt con­sciousness,
and Mrs. Pickens looked upon
her child with the dry and haggard eye of
one whose reason totters.
Lieut de Rochelle was the 8rst to speak
‘‘Anna,” he cried, “ I will die soon, too, but
I would have you die my wife. There is
yet time to unite us.”
The young girl did not reply ; she was
too weak; a sligbt flush rose for an instant
to her pale cheek; it could be seen that
joy and pain were struggling in her spirit
lor tho mastery. Lying upon a sofa, her
bridal dress all staineii with blood, her hair
disheveled, she bad never been more beau­tiful.
Helpless as she was, Lieut, de Ro­chelle
took her hand and requested the
Rev. Mr. Dickinson to proceed with tho
ceremony. W hen it was time for the dy­ing
girl to say Yes, her lips parted several
times, but she could not articulate. At last
the word was spoken, and s slight foam
rested upon her lips. Tho dying agony was
near. The minister sobbed as he proceeded
with the ceremony. An hour afterward all
was over, and the bridal chamber was the
chamber of death. Lieut de Rochelle has
sworn to perish in battle against tho Yan­kees,
and we are sure that he will keep his
Howto CiioosB A Cow— There is always
some risk in buying a cow, ofwliosc previous
character a id history we know nothing, for
there are no infallible sigm of exccllenqe.
A rough, scrawny, coaiso, ill-shapen cow is
often a noble milker. Yet there are a few
(loints generally agreed upon by experienc­ed
farmers, which it is well to consider be-fbro
pitrcbasing. A smalt-boned head and
light horns are better than large. Long
legs make too wide a gap betwixt udder and
milk pail, and long-legged cows are seldom
quiet feeders, but wander about too much.
A slender rather thanathick neck,astraight
back, wide ribs and broad brisket, are to be
sought for. The body of the cow should
be Gl^e In pMportil»r within the
cars—this and good rich milk are very apt
to go together; and drithal a soft, flexible'
hide, loose over the ribs and rUuip, is al>o
to be sought. The udder should bo Isi^,
soft, and full of veins, which ramify over it,
with full-sized milk veins stn-tcliing for­ward
along tbc belly, and the teaU be large
and not crowded ti^cther. Test the cow’s
disposition and inquire about it. Irritable
and nervous cow* are unpleasant to handle,
and almost always scanty milkers. Some­thing
can be ascertained from the looks and
motions. Lar;;e, mild ercs, easy, quiet mo­tions
when driven, aiul gentleness when
handled, indicate good nature. What the
butchers term “ good handling” is an im­portant
qnality in a milch cow, for it indi
cates not only good milking properties, but
easy fattening, when service in tho dairy Li
